Presence Of Many Borrowing Thous ands.
Washington Dispatch: A little before12
o'clock the distinguished guests began to
enter the chamber and took the seats which
had been carefully assigned to them by
officers in charge. The Chinese lega.
ton, which sent q beautiful wreath, and
the Japanese legation, who early paid y
visit OF sympathy to Mrs. Logan, were not
present, nor was the British Minister West.
Among the notable persons seen upon the
floor outside the official Lall bearers were:
Gen. Robert C.. Schneck, late minister to Eng.
land; Gen. j DINA. j. Creswell, Grants post
master general, who ia the treasurer OF the
ocalLogan fund; Walker Blaine, who can e
as representative OF his father; Alan Arthur,
who came also to show the respect which
his late father had for Gen. Logan,
and who was assigned as an honorary
pall-bearer to take the place OF Robert
T. Lincoln, who was detained; Col. Fred
Grant, who much resembles now with his
full beard his father; Gen. Williamson OF
Iowa, late commissioner OF the land office;
e Rosecrans, who always admired Lo-
gan as Il soldier.
Ex-senator Conklin and Gen. Sherman
were the first to enter. They were followed
by Senator Stanford and Chansey Andrews
of Ohio, the father of the finance OIL ohm A.
Logan, Jr., and by Col. Fred Grant, Gen.
Black, Postmaster General Villas, Senator
Allison, Gen. Hawley and the rest. Short.
ly before IL o'clock the representatives of
the administration entered. The president
wa not with them, but Mr.. Bayard took tho
post OF honor as he now is the
next in lawful succession to the
presidency for tho remnant of Mr..
Cleveland's term. He was dressed in
plain black, wore black gloves and looked
sedate and grave. Next to him sat Secre.
tary E~ndicott, wearing a prince Albert
business coat, gray mixed trousers and,
strange to say, red gloves. Next sat Sec.
rotary Whitney gloveless, whose face,
strangely enough. was wreathed in smiles,
and Attorney General Garland, a man
whose face was the most self-satisfied in all
the chamber, also gloveless.
THEN THE FAMILY ENTERED
from the doc which leads from the vice
presidents room. which had been assigned
to them. Mrs. Logan was dressed in the
heaviest black, her features wholly covered
by thick mourning, resting heavily
upon the arm OF her son, greatly affect
ed. Following her came James v. LoganF
the generals youngest brother, who
needed no introduction to the audi
ence, so much does he resemble
the dead hero. Mrs. Logan tool a seat in
front OF the vice presidents desk, and
on either side Of her. Next sat Mrs.
Tucker. also in deepest mourning. Be-
side her was her husband, Maj. Tucker,
and next in deep black, but unveiled,
was Miss Andrews, the fiancee OF Man
ming Logan, and beside her, and
resting awestruck upon her the
little grandson, Logan Tucker. From the
outset Mrs. Logan was deeply affected, al
though evidently under the greatest SELF
of Parson- Newman's sermon were delivered
in which the qualities OF the dead were
so graphically eulogized, she could scarce
restrain her emotion. At one minute past
- O'Clock the venerable doorkeeper,
Bassett, and Deputy Sergeant-at- Arms
Christie appeared at the southern door,
beneath the clock from which depended two
long mourning draperies, to the
funeral ~cortege which was arriving from
headed by the four clergymen-Parson
Newman, Bishop Andrews, Revs. Butler
and Tiffany; Rev. Newman reading as the
cortege advanced the funeral service OF the
Methodist church, II know that my re.
deemer liveth." The honorary pail bear
ers we're:
Gen. Sherman, Hon. Roscoe Conkling,
Senator Stanford, Postmaster General
Villas, Gen. Lucius Fairchild, Mr.. G. H. An
Leggett and Gen. John C. Black.
They wore sashes ofblack. with shoulder
knots of black and white ribbons. They
formed into two lines as they came within
the bar, between which passed the pail
bearers OF the Grand Army men bearing the
casket. The congressional committee wore
wide sashes OF white. The honorary pail
bearers inc the committee were conducted
to seats on the left center. Senator Sher-
man and Speaker Carlisle occupied chairs
at the presidents desk and the clergy were
at the desk OF the secretaries. The solemn
services were begun by the reading of the
Ninetieth Psalm by BishopAndrews. Prayer
was offered by DR.. Tiffany. During the
prayer the silence of the great assemblage
was most impressive, broken as it was on
ly by the uncomfortable sobs of the Wild
ow who leaned as if for support toward
her son in whose firm clasp her hand re-
selections from the funeral service OF the
Episcopal church EXTRACTS from I. CORN.
thians) were read by Rev. DIR. Butler.
Then the funeral grafton was delivered
by Rev. Newman.
The proceedings were closed with the
benediction and then the presiding officer,
Senator Sherman, directed that thefuneral
procession be reformed unQer the OlrecClOn
of the sergeant.at-arms. This order was
the signal for the withdrawal OF Mrs. Logan
and the %sorrowful members OF her family,
who rose and left the chamber by one OF
the northern doors. The members OF the
Loyal Legion also withdrew. The coffin
was then borne out. attended by the chief
mourners. The supreme court judges next
passed out and then the senator's and rep
resentatives, and in a few minutes the sen.
ate chamber and galleries were empty.
The remains were then escorted to Rock
Creek cemetery for temporary in%terlnent,
where services were performed by the Grand
Army OF the Republic.
